@michaelsteele.bsky.social: "I always refer to myself as a Lincoln Republican…It was the idea of why the party was the resistance to slavery…The party that always stood for civil liberties and fought for civil rights of the American people…That iteration of the party is gone."

I’ve spent my career listening to loud men talk tough to disguise their weakness — and I’ve had enough.  That’s why when Trump tried to strong-arm me in the White House a year ago, I told him I’d see him in court — and won.

From climbing on roofs, to falling out of trees, to flying airplanes off of ships and rockets into space, I’m kind of shocked both of us made it this far. Happy Birthday, Scott.

Trump is giving tax cuts to Bezos but none to you.

Trump imposes a tax on 🇺🇸 citizens even after SCOTUS rejects it Why even have a judicial or legislative branch at this point ?

Judge Goodwin: "An anonymous government is no government at all. It cannot be held accountable. A masked agent freely uses force without justifying his actions, and the public cannot name him to challenge his conduct. A regime of secret policing has no place in our society."

Who is the fucking person who asked if the Supreme Court justices were still “invited” to “your” State of the Union. What the fuck? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT QUESTION?? THE COUNTRY IS NOT ONE GIANT FUCKING COCKTAIL PARTY!!!

Sorry, Mrs. Guthrie.

Epic Community Note. 🔥

Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

Excellent choice

😬

If the White House ever tries to interfere with the vote, outrage won’t be enough. Here’s why...and how... Senator Ruben Gallego's suggested shutdown threat works...and how to make it disciplined, strategic, and impossible to ignore. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

#MikeFlood , isn't ALL TAXED MONEY supposed to be distributed via #Congress ? How can #trump Take 10 billion for HIMSELF BY FIAT.

King Charles on Andrew's arrest: "What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities... they have our full & wholehearted support & co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course."

It was the same thing in his first term. They didn't learn.

Listen closely to every word of this

#Trump Is going to do what he does with his taxes, his wives and his oath of office. He is going to cheat until he gets stopped then he's going to cheat again and then he will get allowed to cheat by scotus that he set up. Then he will cheat and cheat some more and finally he will not cheat death.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Holy shit. A lot of people have suggested this, but I don’t think Lieu would make the allegation unless he had seen some evidence.

The Heritage Foundation helps determine which expenses are eligible for AZ vouchers, and then operates a campaign-style war room to attack critics of those expenses.

To this point, the American public has seen somewhere between 2% to 50% of the Epstein files, depending upon who you ask And even in this limited portion, Donald Trump is already mentioned approximately 1 million times

The system is rigged in favor of fossil fuels. New @americanprogress.bsky.social analysis shows that cumulatively, fossil fuels have received 3X more federal subsidies than solar & wind, faster permitting timelines, cheaper land leases, and more.

Ted Lieu: “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there are highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children … of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.”

Stephen Colbert laid into executives at CBS and its parent company, rebuking them for their handling of his interview with a Texas Democrat. “I’m just so surprised that this giant global corporation would not stand up to these bullies,” he said.

Jeffrey Epstein’s reported financier, Les Wexner, is set to give a closed-door deposition with the House Oversight Committee today at his home in Ohio. For all that screeching about “transparency,” Republicans sure seem to want to keep Epstein-related things private.

Reminder: One of DOGE’s shadow objectives was to grab your personal data, from SSA, healthcare to tax records. Palantir is but one example of how they intend to use it.

Rest in Power Jesse Jackson. Your march is complete. Let the next fighters enter the ring. They stand on your shoulders.

A coalition of scientific, preservation and historical groups sued the Trump administration, arguing that the removal of information about civil rights, climate change and other topics at multiple national parks amounts to illegal censorship.

The Constitution is currently being interpreted by the Epstein Class at SCOTUS.

Insanity. They are laughing at us.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

The reason Andy doesn't like Brandy writing about fascists hellbent on pogroms should be pretty obvious. She is the best reporter I know.

Hi All, Just sent this out. We are witnessing a historical failure to understand the limits on US power. People honestly talk about the US detaching Russia from China, when what we are seeing is a depressing detaching of the US from its democratic allies by Ru/Ch. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

“[James Talarico] was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers, who called us directly, that we could not have him on the broadcast,” Colbert said.

Eff the President Day It’s Monday. There are 260 days until the midterm elections. Trump’s murderous friend murdered someone, Massie gets nasty and a real POTUS speaks.
